Our Founder & Career Strategist

Tate is a former U.S. citizen who made New Zealand home in 2007 after immigrating with his family. Frequenting both New Zealand and Australia, he brings firsthand experience of the full immigration journey—from securing employment to residency and citizenship. His personal path and professional expertise offer deep insight into the challenges migrants face and the solutions that lead to success.

For 9 years (2009 to 2018), Tate served as Branch Manager for a leading national recruitment agency in Nelson. Under his leadership, the branch consistently ranked as a top performer nationally, placing over 5,000+ international candidates into roles across New Zealand. His results and management style set a benchmark in the industry.

Since 2018, Tate has operated independently, helping skilled job seekers from around the world secure qualifying employment in New Zealand and Australia. Many of his clients not only achieve their migration goals but return for further career support as they grow professionally in their new countries.

New Zealand is all about lifestyle. Tate runs his business from a home office situated in a beautiful valley near Nelson. This business structure not only reflects his commitment to the classic kiwi lifestyle, but also allows Tate to keep costs to a minimum and guarantee the best prices for his clients.

Tate regularly collaborates with top employers and trusted immigration agents in New Zealand and Australia, providing targeted job search support—even in complex and high-stakes cases.

What sets Tate apart is his rare ability to identify each client’s strengths and present them powerfully—often uncovering value they didn’t know they had. His direct, practical job-hunting method has been described as “a game-changer” by clients who had previously struggled with traditional approaches.
